		But in a wildfire, where most of the fuel is made of the same sort of material, the main variable in ignition time is the ratio of the fuel's total surface area to its volume.
		As mentioned before, temperature affects the sparking of wildfires, because heat is one of the three pillars of the fire triangle.
		Some wildfires burn the underbrush of a forest, which can prevent a larger fire that might result if the brush were allowed to accumulate for a long time.

	Wildfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A wildfire, also known as a forest fire, vegetation fire, grass fire, brush fire, peat fire ("gambut" in Indonesia), bushfire (in Australasia), or hill fire, is an uncontrolled fire often occurring in wildland areas, but which can also consume houses or agricultural resources.
		In the case of the fires in southeastern France, the speed of the fire is estimated to be 3% to 8% of the speed of the wind, depending on the conditions (density and type of vegetation, slope).
		Most of the Earth's weather and air pollution reside in the troposphere, the part of the atmosphere that extends from the surface of the planet to a height of between 8 and 13 kilometers.

	Wildfire in Ohio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Each year an average of 1,000 wildfires burn 4,000 to 6,000 acres of forest and grassland within Ohio’s forest fire protection district, which corresponds mostly to the state’s unglaciated hill country.
		These wildfires are attributed primarily to the careless burning of debris and household litter and arson and result in untold damage to trees and landscape, water quality, improvements such as fences and outbuildings, and place people and their homes at significant risk.
		Wildfire protection in Ohio had its origins in southern Ohio in the early 1920s.

	Could a Western wildfire be the country's next Katrina? \| By Jeff Nachtigal \| Grist \| Main Dish \| 15 Feb 2006
		The cost of fighting wildfires is enormous -- the Biscuit fire required $153 million in suppression costs alone -- but for people whose homes and lives are destroyed, the losses are incalculable.
		Increasingly, emergency planners who develop wildfire strategies at the local, regional, and national levels are realizing that knowing exactly who is at risk and where they live is critical.
		The next question was obvious: "Where are the poor communities at risk to wildfire, and can we tell if they are receiving assistance, both financial and technical?" She set out to find the answer, along with partners from the U.S. Forest Service and the National Network of Forest Practitioners.

	WILDFIRE NEWS
		Publishers Weekly called the book "an evenhanded, lucid re-creation of catastrophe and its aftermath." The fire, which initially appeared to be a quick suppression effort with a bit of mop-up, spiraled out of control into a disaster fire that burned over 9,000 acres.
		Krenn says the pattern of firebreaks that were cut along the southern flank of the wildfire set up favorable conditions for a prescribed burn.
		One factor that increases the wildfire threat is the growing number of new homes in the wildland/urban interface; about 8.4 million new homes, or 60 percent of new homes, were built in the interface during the 1990s.

	Topical Words: Wildfire
		In the thirteenth century, the same word became the usual English way to speak about the invention otherwise called Greek fire—a mixture of inflammable substances that was a precursor to napalm—easy to light but as hard to put out as any bushfire.
		The link with lightning resurfaced at the end of the seventeenth century, when the word was used for that curious phenomenon in which lightning flashes but no thunder is heard, better known as summer lightning.
		But our current sense of wildfire, for something that moves as fast as a fire in dry country, seems to be owed to Shakespeare, who used it in The Rape of Lucrece for an enchanting storyteller “Whose words like wildfire burnt the shining glory / Of rich-built Ilion”.

	Natural Hazards - Wildfires
		Wildfires are a growing natural hazard in most regions of the United States, posing a threat to life and property, particularly where native ecosystems meet developed areas.
		However, because fire is a natural (and often beneficial) process, fire suppression can lead to more severe fires due to the buildup of vegetation, which creates more fuel.
		In addition, the secondary effects of wildfires, including erosion, landslides, introduction of invasive species, and changes in water quality, are often more disastrous than the fire itself.
